    Amparo's Kitchen is a great choice for some seriously delicious Mexican food. It is located in a small no-frills type building and with the exception of a few Christian signs,has pretty much zero ambiance. But the food is the real star at Amparo's Kitchen. I went with three tacos ($3.99 each). Two birria and one steak. The service was incredibly friendly. It was a warm day and they had some shopping fan on the patio and the young man seemed more concerned about it than I did. The tacos were amazing and I can't not mention their fantastic habanero mango salsa. I could have drank that from a cup. I would definitely recommend Amparo's Kitchen and I give it five stars.

    Everything was good food & tasty. The server and owner made sure about our orders. Me and hubby now have a place to visit for another authentic food & our fave steak birria tacos. I would rate 10/10 for the food we ordered including their mango habanero and the verde sauce that were homemade and made from scratch are excellent mix. Prices are reasonable! Place is cozy. Definitely will go back. Thank you

    Flan is sooo goid here.

    There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in the USofA. And a very few MEXICAN Mexican restaurants. Amparo's is the real thing: they make their own everything, including several kinds of salsa, tortillas, and drinks like Horchata (made with melon seeds, rice, other stuff - Google it). Their chile relleno was delicious, nothing like Chi-chis, with cheese that was good but didn't overpower the chili pepper. I had Birria, a beef and cheese combination, grilled between housemade corn tortillas. And for dessert I add my praises for the flan: dense not too sweet, fantastic. Oh and the prices (some reviewer complained on Yelp. you gotta be kidding me.) Our big plates of great food (we took leftovers home) cost us around $25 apiece. Please try this place and experience great actual Mexican food.

    Birria Tacos

    The BEST tacos and atmosphere ever. I HIGHLY recommend. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The staff is amazing and they treat you like family the minute you walk in. The tacos were the best I've ever had. Get the birria tacos!!

    Chicken Enchiladas

    What a great experience! My wife and I stopped by this lovely restaurant on our way home and were blown away by the hospitality from the owner and his family. The food was phenomenal, and we highly recommend the Chicken Enchiladas!

    Quesabirria plate

    11/10. I have had a craving for birria tacos and have been here before so I knew they would not disappoint my craving! It was hot and fresh, perfect for the cold weather. The quesadilla was handmade and so delicious. I was given three different types of salsa: mango, pineapple, and verde. The family that owns Amparo's is so sweet and provides great service. They have a menu with a wide variety and it all looks so good. The place is quaint and very cute. I will be back again! Give this place a try for authentic Mexican food and you will not be disappointed :)

    How do you say amazing 100 times over. I've lived almost 15 years of my life between Las Vegas and Arizona- both of which have incredible Mexican food...well look no further Chattanoogans... if you want AUTHENTIC Mexican... here is YOUR PLACE! From homemade Mexican honey habanero sauce to an enchilada that looked GOURMET- this is your spot! We ordered the Chile relleno, authentic enchilada, and had a few modelos-and it was FANTASTIC! Don't forget the flan on your way out. This is a very gourmet, authentic, boutique style restaurant...it doesn't fit many as it's a little small but GREAT things come in small packages! Thank you so much to the owners! We will be back!!

Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming. They validate parking if you park in the garage nearby!

It just looks more like a bar rather than a place that would serve high quality fresh meals. Everything was clean and the service was great. We got a high top in the bar area and they had a high chair that was tall enough for our son to reach the table. It was great! We ordered the caesar salad to start.... made perfectly. Then we got our entrees. Pictured below.... Both exceeded our expectations! We got our son the kids buttered noodles and he ate a lot of my chicken that I ordered. Great dinner and we ALL highly recommend!

Everything about this experience was top-notch! From being seated quickly upon entering, to explaining how the ticket validation thing worked (more info at the end), customer service was some of the best I've been shown. The ambiance is chic but casual-great for both cozy date night or fun family night. Our server was so friendly and patient as we asked questions about the menu. I ordered the grilled salmon with spicy crab remoulade and my guy ordered the smoked wings with a side of fries. I was happy that I was able to select my own sides from the ones on the menu so I opted for the fried Brussels sprouts with maple and bacon and the buttermilk whipped potatoes. After a short wait, our food was brought out. This was truly one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten! The salmon was cooked to my liking, the potatoes were soft and fluffy and the fried Brussels sprouts were absolutely divine and perfect. The remoulade was a little salty but it may have been just been my taste. The potatoes helped with that so it was not a deal breaker. My guy was pleased with his food as well and I could tell he enjoyed everything he ate. We agreed that we would take this trip back just to eat this meal again. It was truly a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. I highly recommend trying this gem out! Pro Tip: The restaurant validates parking. If you park in the lot across the street, do not prepay on the app or online. Ask the servers at the front to validate to save the $18 parking fee before you order and within 15 minutes after entering. Unfortunately, we didn't do this and the restaurant cannot reimburse the money after you've already paid. You've been warned!

I was honestly pretty nervous about eating alone, but from the moment I walked in, the environment felt so comfortable and welcoming that it eased my anxiety quite a bit. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially my waitress, Sarah. She was so kind and made me feel completely comfortable, which meant a lot to me as someone eating alone for the first time. She truly made the whole experience that much better! And the food... WOW. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I absolutely chowed down The fries were perfect, and I loved the Cajun seasoning on them. The smash burger was delicious and cooked perfectly -- although it was definitely a little messy, so consider yourself warned haha. The mozzarella sticks had an AMAZING cheese pull, and the sauce was absolutely divine. And then there was dessert. Let's just say it was probably meant to feed two people... but I ate the entire thing by myself because it was THAT good. Overall, I couldn't have picked a better restaurant for my first night and my first solo dining experience. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

I wasn't even expecting to get anything. When I walked in though, I tried a spoon of the key lime flavor they had at the time. I expected it to taste like key-lime-flavored-ice-cream but it tasted like a scoop full of key lime PIE The texture even felt like pie because there were delicious hunks of graham crust inside. I was converted. BUT, even more importantly, this shop is run by passionate people. The second time we went in was weeks or even a little over a month later and they remembered us. They gave us a pup cup for my boyfriend's dog while he waited outside with him and they were so helpful and patient with me and his mom. We were indecisive and might have been hard to communicate with because we struggled through our decision making process in Spanglish. She was trying in both languages to explain to me what she wanted but my help wasn't needed at all because the people at Scoop got the gist of what flavor she was craving (rum and raisin) and did their best to come up with something adjacent. She loved it! I so appreciate the kind people at Scoop. "Son muy atentos" y "bien nice."
